This machine is a flawless gem. I will buy another in a heartbeat
Bolt on end of handle grip fell off. Dealer charged me 18 dollars to put a little lock tight on it; still fell off and it's lost.
I'm a Honda man, but Honda doesn't make a 400, so they lost a sale, but I have no regrets at all.

Enjoyable to ride in the city, and on trips just awesome
Excellent; runs like a champ.
The Suzuki Burgman 400 has great style, but most impressive is it rides smooth and handles the roads easily.
I have driven the Burgman on a mix of highways and back roads, and only encountered problems in very windy conditions, or when around big trucks, like tractor trailers.
I have also encountered this same condition when riding an 850. Normal in my opinion.
The Burgman cruses country roads like it was born to do so. It takes the bumps and glides around corners and curves with ease.
When Suzuki designed this machine, they made the perfect mix of scooter and motorcycle.
At a recent scooter rally I tried many of the other super scoots. The Burgman had the most leg room, and was more comfortable.
The only draw back is after riding for several hours, the seat is a bit stiff.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention 57 - 61 mpg avg.

JFYI I bought a bicycle trailer to pull behind my Burger 400. It weighs 22 1/2 lbs. Light, I know. 57 inches long, 27.6 wide, 19.2 in height. Repacked the bearing grease with high speed lube. The Burger has 2 triangle shaped metal pieces on both sides, at the rear of the scoot. This one on the left is how I hooked up the hitch. I did put lights on it. This will carry all my camping equipment, 9x10 tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, 2 burner propane cook stove, cook ware, small cooler, propane cylinder, blankets, pillow.
Was worried about the wheels, but I pulled it over 500 miles and at speeds up to 60-70 mph. It does not wobble, and you cannot tell it's behind you. These have no title, and they are small and no plates required. 95.00 with free shipping. I contacted the manufacturer and they do not recommend this for scooter use. I done a lot of research and seen many behind scooters, YouTube etc. I'm going on a long trip this spring, and it's going with me, a very nice trailer for 95.00. Check it out, here's the link:

Buy one, you will be glad you did
No problems at almost 10000 miles.
This bike handles like a sport model, and is comfortable like a cruiser.
The floorboard allows for changes in foot positioning to maintain a comfortable position, which is easily changed, even at top speeds.
The acceleration of the bike easily allows it to not only keep up with traffic, but in most cases lead the way. Under 10 mph it is a little sluggish for a bike.
High speed handling is excellent. It feels comfortable at lean angles up to 45 degrees.

Of the current choices available, there is not another bike I'd rather own to meet my needs
Pneumatic support rod that holds the seat up is weak and does not hold up the seat like my previous model. I'm going to ask Suzuki for an in warranty replacement.
I believe as gas prices increase, more people will turn to the scooter design for daily transportation, and not the traditional engine forward cycle. No other two wheel design offers the combined economy, storage, simplicity, safety, and performance. I'm not saying people will not still buy bikes for speed, chrome, touring etc. as they do now, but a new market will open for those looking for an alternative to the four wheel automobile. BMW already has made the C1. When gas hits $4 - $5 per gallon, scooter manufacturers will not be able to fulfill the demand. And as of now, Suzuki has one of the best if not THE best design.

I put a set of seat beads on my Burger, and it really helps on long rides. Wal-Mart, 7.90. Rode over 800 miles last year, no sore butt :-)
